A member on our forum suggested adapting a technology like a Rich Text Formatting using by example ASP.

This way, you can create a discussion or poll, and while you're writing, you're previewing the post you're making.

No more

[b] [url] [i]

You can just select the text, push the bold button, and voila!! You have now that text in bold style, or while you're writing a url, it is converted automatically into a link. The same goes with paragraphs, lists, etc.

This would make posting a lot easier and more efficiently also.

We're looking into adding something like that in 2.0.

*Bump*
Keep looking into this!

I know it's been suggested many times before too. We should be able to highlight a text and apply formatting by clicking. Instead we have to copy text into the bold field and click ok. Needs to work like a wordprocessor and most other board softwares, otherwise people don't use the formatting, and that makes the text less readable.

Hello Neil,

We agree completely and have plans to make changes in the future.

Thank you,

*DOUBLE BUMP*
